Front: The Marine Pink Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), also known as the Amazon river dolphin or boto, an endemic freshwater cetacean of the Amazon and Orinoco river basins. The species is culturally significant to indigenous peoples of Venezuela and is featured as the central motif on this denomination. The front also displays the Venezuelan coat of arms at left and includes text identifying the location as 'Parque Nacional Médanos de Coro' (Médanos de Coro National Park), Venezuela's first UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its dramatic sand dunes. The note is part of the Bolívar Fuerte redenomination introduced in 2007, which removed three zeros from the previous Bolívar currency.

Back: The Marine Pink Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) shown in greater detail, emphasizing the species' distinctive features. The back includes the denomination '10' in the corner (corresponding to 10 in the previous currency scale) and features microtext and security elements. The boto is an endangered species and holds deep cultural significance in Venezuelan and broader Amazonian indigenous mythology, where it is often associated with transformation legends and river spirits.

The story

Background & history

This 2 Bolívares Fuertes note belongs to the Bolívar Fuerte ('Strong Bolívar') series introduced on January 1, 2007, as part of a currency redenomination that removed three zeros from the previous Bolívar (VEB). The conversion rate was 1 Bolívar Fuerte = 1,000 old Bolívares. The series was in circulation from 2007 until August 20, 2018, when it was replaced by the Bolívar Soberano (Sovereign Bolívar) following hyperinflation. This wildlife-themed series represented an effort to celebrate Venezuela's natural heritage. The note features advanced security elements including a windowed security thread, see-through register, latent images, and UV-reactive elements. Serial number format analysis for Venezuelan notes of this era does not encode specific year information; the printed date indicators and series documentation provide the primary dating evidence. The Marine Pink Dolphin theme connects to both environmental conservation efforts and indigenous cultural heritage.
